(a)Silver chloride decomposes to form silver / white silver chloride turns grey in sunlight / (1 Mark)
$\ce{2AgCl ->[Sunlight] 2Ag + Cl2}$
(b)A precipitate of lead (II) iodide is formed / yellow ppt of lead iodide is formed / (1 Mark)
$\ce{2Pb(NO3)2(s) ->[heat] 2PbO(s) + 4NO2(g) + O2(g)}$
Lead nitrate Colourless Lead monoxide Yellow Nitrogen dioxide Reddish brown Oxygen
(c)Fats and oils are oxidized, they become rancid, and their smell and taste change. (1 Mark)
